A NEEDED LAW.

Congress ought to pass stringent
law to prevent the importation of

1t should provide that any ship
bringing cholera to the United

are placed in quarantine, be scut-
tied and burned, and the owner of
such ship be fined 81 900 and i'm

The logic of events leads to the political
recognition of the colored man in the South.
1t comes slowly and may be long deferred, but
it must come. Every issue that arises in
which the votes of the colored men are asked
for by either side is to his advantage in this
regard, and tends to hasten the time of his
recognition. Thus in Atlanta two we'll known
colored men have made application to the po-
lice commission for places On the force, and
peculiar circumstances make it probable that
one or more of them will be appointed In
the last election prohibition was the leading,
and indeed about the only issue. In their
anxiety to secure votes enough to make At
lanta "a dry city," the Prohibitionists ap-
pealed to the negroes for help, invited promi-
nent colored men to attend their meetings,
gave them seats on the platform, etc. The
anti Prohibitionists also did some recruiting
among the colored brethren, but with less
success. The Prohibitionists carried the day,
the colored people contributing materially to
the victory. Their taste Of recognition has
very naturally made them want more, and
hence the application for places on the police
